Oh my, it’s already December? 2012 definitely flew by – I could still remember last Christmas as if it was yesterday. Today, I have a relatively simple look for you featuring several MAQuillAGE items from their True Series released this Fall. Find out more about the items here.
This look great for dinners and parties – I find it glamorous yet understated. It’s also great for those who wants just a hint of colour on the lids but nothing striking.
Hope you like it.
Face
I have been trying the Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation for over a week and I am really liking it. It provides medium to full coverage – totally what I need at the moment. And the foundation stays fresh all day with minimum touch ups. I like its lasting power and its satin finish – great for both day and night.
Eyes
Layering is key to achieving this look. I am not sure if you can see the hint of green in the photos but this method is ideal for those who prefers just a touch of colour. Using MAQuillAGE True Eye Shadow in GR 761 – this palette is versatile and the colours are semi-sheer with gorgeous shimmers.
Please refer to number chart below.
- For colours to appear sharper, I have chosen to use a cream base that matches the (3) Harmonize Shadow. Apply cream base over lids and blend to soften edges.
- Apply (3) Harmonize Shadow over cream base – pat on gently.
- Apply (1) Luminous Highlight Base under brows and blend.
- Apply (5) Under-eye Highlighter under the eyes – this actually helps to brighten up the under eye discreetly.
- Use (2) Main Color as a transition colour between (1) and (3) – this will give a three-dimension look to the eyes and add a hint of colour to the lids.
- Tight line upper lash line with a black eyeliner.
- Line upper lids with a black eyeliner and use (4) Line Color to smudge eyeliner.
- Apply black eyeliner to 1/3 lower lash line and blend with (3).
- Apply mascara and some false eyelashes – for this look, I used a pair of corner lashes.
Cheeks
Keeping it simple yet with a touch of radiance. I have chosen the Guerlain Blush Duo in 01 Peach Boy.
- Apply matte shade along cheek bones and blend inwards – towards the apples.
- Layer shimmery shade over apples of the cheeks.
Lips
We have quite a smoky eye and bright cheeks, so I am going neutral on my lips. MAQuillAGE True Rouge in BE 361 is perfect to finish off this look.
Thank you for looking.
